The Sustainable Beauty Coalition launches Planet Positive Beauty Guide
What does the Sustainable Beauty Coalition do, and who is it for?
The Sustainable Beauty Coalition aims to address the global climate change crisis by raising awareness in the beauty and wellness industry by creating an overarching Framework for Action. This will entail setting ambitious targets for the industry to become more transparent, authentic and accountable to the consumer with their three focus pillars in the forefront:
- Transparency & Accountability – Being clear with and activating consumers and others about what sustainability means.
- Standards & Certification – Establishing industry-wide standards that meet the scale of the challenge and ensuring only meaningful certifications are used.
- Innovation & Technology – Harnessing the industry’s excellence in innovation for good and exploring the role this can play in delivering the ambitions of the framework.
The SBC, launched in July of this year kicking off the coalition with an open letter to the industry
“While a growing number of brands are taking significant steps to reduce their negative impact on the planet, these efforts are patchy and uncoordinated. The coalition seeks to address this.” – SBC Chair Jayn Sterland, UK managing director of Weleda UK

It is packed with interesting stats and figures, compiled from industry leaders who are a member of the Sustainable Beauty Coalition of the British Beauty Council (myself included) to give you the following:
- Helpful armour when shopping – and being able to spot a green washed product a mile away.
- Tips on how to better understand ingredients and their benefits (or lack there-of)
- How to read symbols and labels to better understand your products.
- Stats and figures to start healthy and informative debates with your GF’s – we need everyone on board if we are to make a change!
- Easy swaps that you can make at home, if you haven’t already.
